Train derailment closes Crain Avenue Bridge in Kent; no injuries reported as coal train jams under span

Bridge in Kent was closed Thursday afternoon after several cars of a 119-car long CSX Railroad coal train derailed under it, leaving tons of spilled coal and crumpled train cars jammed under the bridge.

See Friday's record-Courier for more coverage.

This is from the Crain Avenue bridge -- I went over this bridge about 500 times in my life (mainly from 1985-89). The bridge was closed because the train struck and possibly damaged the bridge:

"He also noticed a good deal of cynicism and defeatism — both on campus and in the community — in 2000, and saw a report that characterized Youngstown as 'waiting for the future'."--from a Vindicator article about retiring YSU President David Sweet, but could apply to any Ohio city.

A friend of mine who lives down that way posted an extensive account, with photos, on her LiveJournal: http://goldiebug.livejournal.com/33893.html.
